DCN will have several volunteers on hand to answer your questions and show you new techniques.

* Video on Your Website, 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, April 25; Russ Hobby, instructor. You have shot some fine video footage on your camera, but how do you get it onto the web? Want to put your video on YouTube or your own website? This class will cover the steps and some of the options. Need to edit your video? This step will be discussed, too.

* You’ve Been Hacked or Infected; What to do Next, 6:30-8 p.m. on a date in May to be announced: If your accounts have been hacked or infected, how do you repair the damage? What do you do to minimize the possibility of a repeat intrusion? The program will feature a panel of people offering useful ideas and practical advice.

* DCN Web Calendar, 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, May 9; Steve McMahon, instructor. This class offers instruction on use of DCN’s 2013 Web Calendar, a tool developed by DCN’s Web Team.
